San Cesario sul Panaro The story of this blog actually starts in the Summer of 2006, where I had the privilege of (probably) being the very first person to capture the first 2 Pagani Zonda F Roadsters in 1 shot, as the third one was still on the assembly line of this tiny super car factory.

"Many" other Zonda's in all kinds of special edition, were produced in between my second visit to the factory, where the very last Pagani Zonda F Roadster is shining in the showroom. With its unique purple colors, this car makes my story of the Pagani Zonda area complete, as I also stare with one eye to the Zonda R.

To get a better understanding of the company I had a tour through the factory, where sadly, but understandable photography was not allowed. It's very impressive that such a small factory can produce these kinds of cars. The eye for detail is incredible. Horacio Pagani, the carbon fiber specialist wants a close to perfect pattern of carbon layers. If more than 3% of the lines don’t match, the component goes out of production.

While a small group of people are working on the new model, the Huayra (which is some kind of wind in Argentina) an even smaller group of people is working on a one off, the Pagani Zonda 750. In short terms, this is a street legal Zonda R.

Special thanks to Christina for the factory tour!
